I take it back -- you're absolutely right.  A couple of years ago we began
building all our own local tables using the monthly BITEARN NODES update
file and DOMAIN NAMES as a contribution to cutting down network traffic.
Having said that, I still think that every node should have available a
current copy of BITEARN NODES for reference purposes unless scarcity of
mass storage prohibits it (the file runs about 2.5MB).
